Book 84: Anne of Green Gables, by L. M. Montgomery

Read: On the way to and back from my weekend trip to Cambridge at the start of October half term

Review: At first I didn't think I was going to enjoy this book. The young protagonist failed to engage me; I'm not sure if it was because I was in a grumpy mood, but I was starting to think that, were "Anne with an e" present in reality, she would soon become exceedingly irritating. However, just like Marilla Cuthbert, I warmed to her as the book went along, and by the end of it I'd have said she was quite a likeable character. On the whole I enjoyed this harmless, fun tale of childish exploits in a very proper village in rural Canada.
